[Hide Comment] Ian,

Is this essentially a sit start to Tombstone Direct? Take a look at the comments on that route and let me know what you think?

Thanks,

I did look at that. We were out there climbing on that too. This is more of a pure line with a different, and pretty obvious start. It could be linked into that line too. May 18, 2018

Exactly! Though the feet are more like pedestals that aren't used. May 18, 2018
